The Cost of Discipleship.
Lesson for March 11: Matthew 19:
!6-26, 29.
Memory Verse: Matthew 16:24.
Congresswoman Rankin told of a
small boy who, when asked by hia
Sunday school teacher which he
would rather be — Dives or
Lazarus, replied: *Td rather be
Dives when I’m living and Lazarus
when I’m dead.” Sadly enough, he
expressed what seemed to be the
philosophy of the. rich young man
( and of many others.
Expressing a laudable desire and
claiming to have kept all the com
mandments, the young man went
away sorrowful, indicating that he
had utterly failed to live by the law
of love in which Jesus summed up
all the commandnaehts. )
After his departure, Jesus .spoke
of the difficulty of a rich ‘tnan’s
entering the kingdom. It would be
impossible for a oamel to go
through a needle’s eye and, if there
was in Jerusalem’s wall a small
gate known as the “Needle’s Eye,”
as some suppose, it would have
been hard enough for a camel to
pass through. It is certainly hard
enough for a rich man to enter the
kingdom. But Jesus told the aston
ished disciples that with God all
things are possible. With God, a
rich man can overcome the love
of money/! consecrate his wealth
to large service, and "be saved.”
The cost of discipleship is great,
but the reward is infinitely great
er. The memory verse bids a man
do more than practise a little “self-
denial," bo as to make, for ex
ample, a larger gift to missions—
it bids him “deny himself," deny
his right to do just as he pleases
with his life and his possessions.
And it calls upon him to take up
his cross, consecrate his all, and
follow Jesus.

T HIS business of eating today is
far from simple. We must base
our menus on available foods, per
fectly cooked and so attractively
served that we create the illusion
that we really are not doing with
out many of our accustomed com
modities. We all want to take
rationing in our stride and welc n
it with the realization that the food
disappearing from our tables is
going to feed our fighting men all
over the world.
Menu planning today is a
challenge, a case of not getting
along without but of making
the most of the -Ifoods we
have. In order to avoid nsing
too many restricted meats,
plan main meat dishes for the
week, then the rest #f the mepo.
Plan desserts using? a minimum
of sugar, substituting honey and
maple syrup whenever pos
sible, but don’t neglect them.
Use margerine and vegetable
oils and fats for all cooking and
baking, thereby saving your
butter for table use only. Re
member when you substitute an
unsalted fat for butter to in
crease the amount of salt.
Learn to use-meat products with
low ration value. Liver, beef and
pork as well as veal, tongue .and,
heart are splendid foods. Carefully;
prepared and cooked they make de
licious savory main dishes.
These meat specials are not lack-*
ing in food value. In fact they are
rich sources of vitamins, with livei
heading the list and kidney a close
second. Liver—whether calf, beef
pork or lamb—is considered om
best source of the anti-anemie
factor and is especially rich in vita
min A and the minerals—iron anc
copper. J
If calf’s liver isn’t available
don’t scorn the other varieties
Long, slow cooking will result i:
tasty, nourishing dishes. Serv
braised beef liver with mashe
potatoes, browned parsnips, cab
bage and grapefruit salad topped
off with gingerbread and custard
sauce for dessert.
Braised Beef Liver.
One pound liver, 4 cups boiling
water, % cup chopped onion, 3 ta^

HOW TO GAIN SELF-CONFIDENCE ~
D R. W. W. CHARTERS, who is connected with Stephens.
college, Columbia, Mo., has worked out a way by which >
the girls of that school can gain self-confidence. His method •
will work not only for college girls, but for anyone who !
wishes to apply it.
First, he says more people are held back by lack of self- ’
confidence than by lack of ability. And that usually lack of •
self-confidence comes from some youthful failure in some- ‘
thing the person has been eager to make a success of.
In addition to that here are the three chief reasons for
lack of self-confidence:
1. The fear of what people will think of you. •
2. Fear of what the future holds for you.
3* Fear that if you start something new you will not.
make a success of it.
One reason you haven’t self-confidence is that
you may be a perfectionist. That is, you want to
have everything done in the very best possible way;
when you realize things have not come up to your 4sy
expectation, then your self-esteem slips. v
Dr. Charters also says that people who are lacking in •
self-confidence are the most apt to succeed—once they have
overcome this lack. So remember this, if you do lack self-!
confidence and are willing to pay the price to overcome it.
Rule 1. Compare yourself to other people. But also real-!
ize that they are also probably comparing themselves to*
those they consider more successful than themselves.
Rule 2. Take the man you admire most, and who seems *
most superior to you, and draw up a list of things which you
do better than he does. You will see that, after all, he is not
such a whiz. . i
Rule 3. Draw up a list of the things you’ve undertaken in f
the past and succeeded in doing well. You’ll be surprised *
how many you’ve undertaken in the past and succeeded in i
doing well.
Rule 4. When you feel discouraged, and are at your low-'
est ebb, then look over this list and think of the things you’ve *
done well. Make that list a reminder of what you have the!
possibilities of accomplishing in the future.
Rule 5. Remember that self-confidence comes and goes.i
That it is not a steady and unfluctuating mental reaction. In*
other words you may lack self-confidence today but tomor-‘
row you may carry your head high and your chin out. AlseJ
remember you are more apt to find self-confidence lacking)
when you are tired—especially at night. The world will not*
seem so against you in the morning as when you hit the hay 1
at night.
Rule 6. Remember that each time you accomplish a thing i
you are just that much stronger; that each accomplishment*
is a step up the ladder. >
Rule 7. Remember that most of the worthwhile things in>
this world have been accomplished by persons who at some^
time or other have lacked self-confidence. J
Follow these seven *ules and you’ll find your self-confi-»
dence mounting, and you’ll accomplish things that once- 1
seemed impossible. _ J

REACTIONS OF PROBLEM CHILDREN
A DULTS sometimes forget in
dealing with an unruly boy or
« irl that a problem child is a child
4th a problem. If you can discov
er what it is—and that isn’t easy,
for often the child doesn’t know
himself—and help him work it out,
your own problem of unsatisfactory
behavior on the child’s part will usu
ally disappear.
Children haven’t the experience
to analyze problems, as adults
should be able to do, and then solep
them rationally. So they react m
one of three general ways. (1) They
refuse to face the situation and try
only to forget their difficulties. Here
we have the habitual daydreamers,
the radio addicts who pass up out
door play to stay at the radio
hours on end, the movie gluttons
who sit through a show two or three
times. Occasionally these children
retreat into illness, an unconscious
habit which may make lifelong in
valid.; of them.
(2) Another misguided way in
which children meet problems is
to pretend they don’t exist. Mary
is unhappy because her sister is
prettier than she. So Mary pre
tends it is silly to comb your hair
nicely or put your clothes on with
care and really tries to look her
worst. John is bewildered because
his sister, a year younger, gets bet
ter grades in school than he does.
So he makes fun of her studious
ness and refuses to put any effort
into his own schoolwork. To pun
ish Mary for slovenliness and John
for laziness is to begin at the wrong
end, like polishing the far lenses of
a field glass and leaving the eye
pieces smudged.
Instead, Mary should be reas
sured about present day standards
of beauty. Tell her that today the
girl with all the breaks so *ur as
natural beauty is concerned
often overlooked for a less pretty^
girl who takes the trouble to ac-4
quire dash and charm. Explain to/
John that girls as a rule mature f
mentally eaflier than boys, and that
it isn’t unusual for a younger girl v
to appear smarter than a boy
school—but that when they get out ’
into the world the boy, if he has ap- f
plied himself in school even though '
not brilliant, is likely to leap ahead.
of her in accomplishment. *
(3) Then there are children who ’
fight back at their problems. This.
is the healthiest and most normal 1
response but is perhaps most often ‘
misunderstood by adults. Because',
even these children who stand up ■
to their difficulties rarely have the;
wisdom or experience to fight them *
directly, so they strike out in all-
directions. Perhaps a boy is rebel- 1
ling because he can’t play games
or get along with people as well as
his brother. But he finds that mis
behaving brings him as much atten- .
tion or more than the older boy gets, ,
so he kicks up a continual rumpus.
Though this is better than retreat
ing in meekness, or than pretending
he doesn’t want to play games or
be liked, it can be very uncom
fortable for the rest of the family.
Instead of wasting his energy in
tantrums, an aggressive child needs
help in finding a game or other
activity for which he has a special
knack, and which can be developed
until he, too, has a skill to be proud
of.
Often it takes someone outside
the family—the child’s teacher, an
understanding aunt, a consulting
psychologist—to put a finger on the
difficulty which is making a young
ster a problem child. Modern par
ents seek such help as readily as
they take a child to a dentist to find
the eiiusa of
%
